Explainer Wire aims to be usable by every reader, including people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation or enlarged text.
What we do
- Every page has a visible skip link, a single main landmark and a logical heading order.
- All interactive controls are reachable and operable with the keyboard, with a visible focus outline.
- Text can be resized to 200% without loss of content, and the article view includes a built-in text size control.
- Articles offer a read-aloud function built on the browser speech engine, with no third-party tracking.
- Colour contrast targets WCAG 2.2 AA, and a dark reading mode is available.
- Images carry alternative text; decorative graphics are hidden from assistive technology.
Advertising
Advertisements are labelled and never placed in a way that hides or shifts editorial content during reading.
Known limitations
Third-party advertising and embedded external content are outside our direct control. Where a partner fails these standards we report it and, if it is not fixed, remove the placement.
Feedback
If you meet a barrier, write to editor@explainerwire.com with the page address and a short description. We aim to reply within five working days.
